Well, I am a Student and for real, i did not bother much about AUKU because since I enter University, i never really think that i will have a problem later if this AUKU was deleted or not or something.
But since everyone is talking about it now, it become so interesting so i read it myself to see really what actually went wrong with the act.
Well, honestly, i did not really agree when they said that University student will not become excellent in their study because that act is restricting us to join any political group or whatever. Because for me, I saw all around me in the University that there is a lot of program and activity that can lead and teach the student on how to become a leader. Lot of exposure were given to us in our study, not just basically sitting down reading books or something. For the first time in my life when i enter University that i am exposed to the community, i was sent to rural area to promote health, to educate people, to learn about leadership, to work as a group, to be with the community, to be the community. So, it is totally wrong when they said that we are restricted socially.
So, excellence in the university, yes not only based on pointers and exam, but continuous assessment that involved our co-curriculum, community based, our attitude, skills, and everything. And that is what i can see done in my school in UMS. Well, i don't dare to talk about others because maybe they have a different perspective from me.
The next thing is, if student are allowed to be involve in politic, I am sure that there will be a lot of group, party, and small community form in the university based on everyone own group and party. So integration among student surely will disappear immediately. I have see this kind of situation happen even with AUKU still on. When some people start to form their own group, and did not mix with other group, like what we can see in the reality of Malaysia politics right now. So I cannot get along and do activity together with UMNO group in university because i am PAS, or i can't play football on sunday everning because sunday is for DAP while i am PBS supporter. Things like this surely will happen. Someone said to me that maybe, "MAYBE", politics can unite people. But from what i see in reality, politics is the one who break the unity among we all.
We can involve in politics later after we graduate and no one cares. We are not going to stay in the university for the rest of our life. Thus, why not we just study and get that opportunity to be a well educated man first.
But i remember one of my Professor said that in Malaysia, knowledge and education is not important, what is important is politic. Different from the other university oversea where academic is important than politics. Are we training politicians only in Malaysia's University? Until when will our University will be in the top 50 in the world? They are measuring the research and the academic, and not the politic involvement i think.
From my perspective, to become a good politicians, you must first be prepared with a real knowledge in your head. If you are a doctor involving in politics, competing with a College drop out or Class 3 student involving in politics, that doctor have a higher chances to be a good leader rather than the other two.
The last thing is, what I can see today, those people that proposing this AUKU to be demolished is not actually fighting for the students right, but i see more on trying to fight for themselves, for their party, for their politics. I think it is better to fight to reduce the higher fee in the University rather than this. Not all student are politicians, but all student need money for their life.
As a conclusion, if the thing we are talking now is for our right, then AUKU should be abrogated. I think we can ask for our right. But we must think also for the pro and cons. To cancel AUKU to make student more excellence is a nonsense from my perspective. But to cancel it for get out right can be a brave thing to fight. I would say that, I don't support the act, and i don't like the way they fight to cancel it. Sorry for being insensitive.

It's my birthday (sucks Manja Rasa)
Well, happy birthday to me. I am so happy now that i turn 22. For this year, i am celebrating my birthday with my family. I am so happy because it has been a long time since the last time i celebrate it with my family.
A few things disappointed me during my birthday celebration. We went to a seafood buffet restaurant called Manja Rasa in Labuan. Well, everytime we went there, there will be a lot of seafood ready on the freezer for us to grill and steamboat it in a Korean Style. Same as Kampung Nelayan in Kota Kinabalu. But this time i was dissapointed. This is because we walk in into the restaurant and found out that a few strategic table already been booked. But we don't care. Cause my family only consist of 4 members so we do not need to book a table or what. We found a place to seat, nice place also. In the beginning, i am having a great mood and hopefully a great food. Well, it was great in the beginning, but what happen in the middle of my happiness is, there is no more seafood to eat!!! Isn't it a buffet restaurant where you can eat as much as you can.
Obviously that restaurant have a poor management on food control. I obviously realize that they are waiting for the customers that already book for the a few tables that still did not come. But what the heck! Aren't we a customer too!!!?
It was really sucks. There is no more food over there and the worker there don't even seem to bother about it. We wait and wait for at least 3o minutes, but what we get is only a few meats and sausage. We want seafood!
In the end, we decided to go back, we are full ( with sausage chicken and meat. Where is the seafood?). And at the time we walking out that restaurant, they start to fill up the seafood on the table because the customers that booked earlier have arrived.
So, what is wrong with this story? That restaurant is too stupid to consider only booking customer as their customer and leaving us who pay the same amount of money eating sausage and chicken that we can buy in the street? They really have a poor management on controlling the food. I have been to Fishermen Village in Kota Kibabalu where the concept is the same but over there, there will be no delay on the food ( or the food will never get dry up). Why is that? That is because they know how many they need to give and they consider all the paying people sitting as their customers. It is a common sense. Why do you have to save the food for the not-yet-come customers while you can save for them and serve the current customer at the same time.
So, maybe, it will be the last time i will go to that restaurant again. haha. There is many more great restaurant that i can go. But, they ruin my birthday mood and i hate it. I feel like i want to curse them.
Okay, but the cake was nice. I really love the cake that my sister bought for me. A fruit cheese cake. So nice. Haha.
Hmm, another thing is, there is not many people realizing that today is my birthday even my closest friends. I am so sad. But i am up now a little because the last 3o minutes, it seem that they remember already. But not for someone or some other one. haha.
thank you my family, to Kim Heng Shee ( the first one who wish me), Nuraini, Soo fei, nasibah, zulfa, Ilah, Wilson Bodingin, My cousin Dion, bibi (( who bought me the earliest present this year), Wai Hong, Suzy, Azimah ( My yahoo chat buddy- azimah is her name or i don't know), fanjiet, some girls i'm not sure who in friendster, Jennifer ( is this mei ching?), hmmm, maybe that all la. wait, forget.. almost forget... Jennifer Guma. hahha. Love ya'll.
p/s: I dun want to tell people about my birthday since i'm getting old oledi. it is better for them not to know. and when they forget when i don't forget their birthday, well, i can assume that i choose a wrong person to remember. hahah.

Am i like that before?
Today, when i walk around the town, i saw a lot of teenagers walking around with their friends with their puppy love one and some of them just wandering around alone. Well, i consider myself a teenager. But i don't know. Is 22 years old still consider a teenager?
I see a lot of difference between them and me... but am i like that before?
There are different type of teens that i saw today. The first one that i noticed is a group of teens consist of 2 boys and 3 girls wearing a simple T-shirt, khakis, proper snickers, maybe they are chinese. Look like chinese. All of them walking around together then enter a fast food restaurant, sitting all together, eating and laughing along. Hmm, it is nice to see them. I remember the time when i was like that. Hanging around with my friends. Let me guess, this must be a group of Matriculation College students. I never step and ask them cause that is a strange thing to do. But i know, they must be Matric's Student.
Another group that i notice is a group of girls, wearing jeans, with their yellow and black stripes hair, a baby shirt, with big necklace, and big bracelet. Hmm, well, i don't like to see them. Look so nasty. haha. this group of girls walking around laughing and talking loudly. they act cool. Or they try to act cool. Then when a group of boys went passing them, they shout aloud saying some dirty word or something like that. Not nice to see. This type of girls should end their life having sex with multiple boys acquiring Sexually transmitted Infection or marry a lowest working class man and suffer their life later in the future. Poor and pity girl. If they just change their attitude, i believe that all good man in the world would like them. they look cute without their attitude.
Then i saw a group of boys walking around with baggy jeans, spiky hair, a belt reaching their knee (or this is just a rope hanging there for fashion), with white sport shoe, must be a hip hop type guys. They all walking with a strange gait. Like waddling gait. haha. Maybe they try to walk cool like a hip hop star in a hip hop video but honestly, if you walk like that in reality, it look like you are having herniated spermatic chord or you are pregnant. Haha. Not cool. And their bang their head while walking like there are music playing while there is no music playing around. When they walk passing a girl, they add more 'coolness' into their walking. Look so stupid. So for this type of teenager, i would say they would become something later. Something that i don't know but i know all they can reach is only a working class level. And some of them would end up doing nothing instead of taking drugs or become alcoholic useless type of guy.
Then i saw another group of teenager, wearing simple plain t-shirt with jeans. As they walk, they talk to each other. Then they settle down in a pearl tea cafe. Hmm, i can judge this kind of characteristic but i know they have future. with their character, they would end up being professional or at least become an DJ or something like that. haha. Normal type.
Then I saw another group of teenager, sitting on the mall corridor. Like there is no other place to sit. That place is dirty you know. Why don't you all find a bench and sit down rather than sitting on the floor. This group of teenager is like a group of girls i describe just before. No future if you keep being like this.
And in the end, i look at myself. Who am i to judge them? I never know their problems and what kind of life they have been through. Even they look useless right now, but who know later they would have their opportunity to love as a professional class people. Maybe i was like that before. Maybe people see me as a useless teenager before. But who would expect that i would have the opportunity in my life to be in my situation right now.
As i step out the mall, i hear a voice on my back. A voice of a mom saying something to her child. She said " Don't dream to have this kind of stuff now, wait until you become a doctor later." I turn back to see that women, and i saw her child, her daughter, a small girl probably around 10-12 years old girl smiling.
And i smile. Dream on. Make something come true for yourself.

ADVICE
If someone comes to you and ask for direction, where would you put your finger to?
If someone comes to you and ask for your advice, how do you choose the correct word?
People usually seek someone if they are hurt and if they feel that they are being leave along. Human is so interesting. This is because, since before birth, we always seek for something. Like the sperm seeking the ovum, babies were seeking for their mom, a teenager seeking for their love one, an adult who would seek for their purpose of existence. We always need to find something, and it is natural.
I myself, usually ask for someone’s opinion regarding any problem that I faced. I need someone to give me some word that can give me another reason to keep going on. I need a guide and a direction from someone that already experience thing before me.
What should we do if people ask question regarding their problem? A problem that you might encounter by yourself in your life or a problem that you never encounter but it is common everywhere. Usually, a friend would ask their friend on the topic of love, family, relationship and friendship. Only that. If someone come to me and ask me regarding their financial problem, I would usually pass that topic. I am not a person that you would seek to consult you on your pocket problem. I usually being ask about love, family problem and friendship. As far as I experience, I really don’t mind even a lot of them come to me asking the same question every time.
I would not consider myself as a good advisor or problem solver. But I love to listen to story. I love to share something that I know and some of my opinion with them. No matter what, I will always concern about the people that need me as a place for them to talk. And I would respect all the confidentiality within the discussion.
Sometimes, I have problem choosing word to say. Mostly, I don’t like to talk about that things directly because I could not speak a proper word face to face. Sometimes I did talk face to face but with emotional environment, sounds everywhere, sad face, tear, it would influence the way I give my opinion. I will always listen and non stop listening if things goes like that.
So the other method, that I like the most, is when someone text me, email me or write a letter to me( which is nonsense to do nowadays with technology all around the street). When they text me, I will read and I would have a plenty of time to think before replying to them. I will always consider about their feelings, analyze deeply their problem, empathize and try to give them the best support I have.
For me, in listening (or reading) to someone’s problem I need to practice a certain guideline that I made for myself. I really need to follow this guide as I listed below
I need To:
1. Understand the problem ( ask question if I don’t)
2. Listen to everything they wanted to say ( @ reply the message telling them to tell the story more and more)
3. Look to the problem in many different way ( different perspective)
4. Ask about their feeling currently and on the time things happen
5. Ask about their opinion on their problem
6. Ask whether they have a way to solve the problem or not
7. Ask about how they want to solve it ( in what way)
8. Keep them happy
9. Try not to make jokes about the problem but make jokes to cheer them up
10. Give something for them to think if you have an idea on how to solve the problem
11. Don’t solve the problem. Make them think.
12. Don’t give advice.
13. Don’t act clever.
14. Give them a freedom to whatever they want.
15. Tell them you will always be there and support them.
It is funny to make a what to do list. I’m feeling like a nerd and jerk. But with this it will do for some simple-simple thing. Haha.
By the way, I don’t play with other people problem. I am born naturally to concern about someone else around me even I look like nothing. I really want people around me to be happy. To feel happy and to live happily every after even me myself did not. For me, making someone else happy is the same as making yourself happy.
I myself have a problem too. I seek someone to help me but usually, someone did not really understand my problem. And I hate when people give me advice that I don’t really want to hear. That is why in my guideline I put “don’t give advice”. If you are giving advice to someone, it make you like a clever one and sometime, you will sick when people advise you, and anger will come after that. I don’t know how to describe it, but you will feel it. Really.
So, actually, I really want someone to know and to have 15 things I listed above or such so I can ask their opinion. I will always hope so. Haha.

Still Like This I do survive
What is happening to Universiti Malaysia Sabah Internet connection. So sucks until i can't log in to blogger... Actually i do can access the internet but our school prohibited us to go to our beloved LabCom anymore after a few computer been stolen. So, for us to connect to the internet, we can only use our Village Wireless connection which is sucks and a few fast wireless connection is too far, and we are to busy for our exam.
Speaking about exam. haha, i finish it with style. I'm not saying i am too good in that exam but, i did complete it with a smile. I remember the time our Ophthalmologist kick me out the exam room because i can't remember the common cause for Homonymous Hemianopia. I know the answer actually but i am to nervous to say it. haha. I feel very shame on myself.
Ok, then come the time when we all try to celebrate our end of posting exam. But it seems that this time, no one really celebrate it because everyone is busy packing their stuff to go back to their hometown. For the first time, all of the third year medical student going back home. Before this, there must be someone left in UMS.
I have two days before going back home. So i want to party but with everyone leaving me alone in the hostel, i guess nothing much to do then.
What i'm doing then is most of the time, watching TV about the Malaysia Public Election. It was great to see how a 'stable' government going down so easily in just one night. It is great.
Nothing much to discuss here in this posting. So boring for this one month. I will be taking my elective posting here in my hometown in Labuan. What i will be discussing next in my blog maybe all about my hometown.
I saw a few blog of my friend discussing about politics. I like it but i'm not into it. Don't want to involve in that. So, i am thinking of something to write. Something fresh. Something so fresh. But not now. Now is not the time.ahaha.
_another wasting time to read post_
